Pointless
But having a striker that has had a full pre season and knows what the manager wants is definitely not pointless. It could take a month or longer to get a striker up to speed even after we sign one We should have signed one striker by now....

I hear what you're saying but really it's us fans that have been hoping for a 'better' striker for the last 3 years. Last season we had Ade, Defoe and Pav, for one place up front. That was a good strike force. It seems Harry decided to let Pav go in January and swap for Saha - not a great solution but not a bad temporary solution. Season before Pav, Crouch, Defoe and Keane were here, again, not great but not awful and we improved on it with Ade.
Now this season we are waiting for a striker, AVB knows we need one, DL knows we need one. Maybe we've just been waiting for a bit more cash because we know we can get someone really top draw? Who knows. I have faith. It'd be nice to have it done already but hey, those are the breaks.
For fucks sake mate, grow a pair. It won't affect your life to have red minus numbers next to your name. It won't make you any less likely to get laid/get a good job/win the lottery. If you've got an opinion and want to express it then do so. If you don't then be a pussy and keep it to yourself.9 times this week I have wanted to say something but backed out of saying it because I was frightened of getting negative rep, I would much rather be in situation of not worrying before pressing post reply but because of those that lurk in the background and pass judgement I have to keep quiet
well you must wait till christmas. now go to bed.
Totally agree mate, I read nearly every post but don't really feel the need to post much because someone's nearly always already posted what I would write in a much more eloquent or funnier way than I ever would, but to not post because you're scared that someone might neg rep you.....well that just stinks of no self confidence, which in turn makes me wonder what you're doing on a public forum.For fucks sake mate, grow a pair.

But stop fucking whining about it.
If we somehow manage to win tomorrow will that affect our possible transfer targets?
you will have to wait. it does depend how you behave.promise we will make a signing by then ?
Is it possible to have a nice time at Cribbs Causeway?Well after a lovely shopping spree in Cribbs Causeway I'm feeling pretty good and actually didn't give much thought to the plight of our club which leads to the invariable come down.
Still, back to what matters tomorrow and if we do manage to nab all three points (which seems pretty unlikely) it will boost the morale on this site no end!

For my two pennyworth I reckon we might a bit of a cocking tomorrow, a la the first game of Ramos' first full season in charge up at Middlesbrough. Change of formation, attacking approach, players not yet settled in to their roles and some key players absent. Feels similar.
Kind of my point, the post I replied to said no ambition, but it's that fine line. Say we went and signed Grant Holt, who we of course could, we'd have signed a striker but that would signify lack of ambition right ?
Is it any striker or the right striker ? Is the right striker gettable ? I'm totally on board with the fact our squad needs forwards, but it's not through lack of ambition, it's through being unable to pay the wages and/or transfer fee required for the right forward. I don't know what the answer is........
Back on topic, I still trust Levy to do the business for us before the window closes. It's a rare occasion he let's us down.
AVB only looking for one striker to add to Defoe + Kane??
“I can give you an example - last year we had two strikers in Chelsea of great dimension.
“Tottenham had three strikers of great dimension - Adebayor, Defoe and Roman Pavlyuchenko.
“Normally there is one that doesn’t get enough time that he feels he should be credited with.
“That’s not because you don’t rotate enough, but because when you play a system with one striker it is very difficult to get the third one to play enough.
“Normally on my teams I like to promote the third one as a young striker who is competing for that place a bit more aggressively.”

I agree with some of that but surely there are strikers out there that we could have got earlierKind of my point, the post I replied to said no ambition, but it's that fine line.
